Input Tab Window
1. Analog Level - Use this menu to select microphone, instrument, or line input.
2. Input Level - The gain of each input is controlled with these software knobs. The gain
level is indicated in the value box below the knob.
3. Analog Input Meter - This meter displays the level of the analog input after A/D
conversion.
4. Group On/Off - Use this to group the gain setting of both inputs so that the multi-
function knob on Duet or one software gain knob controls both input gains simultaneously.
If a gain offset is present between inputs when Group is set to On, this offset is preserved.
5. Phase - Check this box to reverse the polarity of the input signal. Under certain
circumstances, when two mics are used on one source, reversing the polarity of one
mic may result in a fuller sound. For example, when top and bottom mic’ing a snare
drum, a fuller sound is obtained when the polarity of the bottom mic is reversed.
6. 48 V / Phantom Power - Engage this button for 48 volts phantom power on the XLR
connections. Condenser mics require phantom power to operate.
